The role
Our support specialists help people with brain tumours and their loved ones to live the best possible life with their brain tumour diagnosis. We’re looking for three more incredible people to help us expand our regional support network across the UK.
You will need to be an excellent communicator face-to-face, online, phone or email. You will know the power of listening and you will be the sort of person that brings focus and calm to difficult situations. Prioritising your workload is second nature, and you’re energised and driven by a passion for learning and making life better for those with a long term and/or serious illness.
We operate through a regional model because we know that living with a brain tumour in London is very different from living with a brain tumour in mid-Wales. As the person on the ground in your region you will understand what these regional challenges are; you will be solution focused and you will use the joy of local to build a supportive community in your area.
